Ra lass Aloesi Nakoci and Sesenieli Donu scored Mt Masada’s two tries in the first half which saw them lead 12-nil at halftime.

Their defensive play was tested two minutes before the break when captain Rusila Nagasau was yellow-carded.

Police had their chance but were unlucky after giving away possession and were punished by Mt Masada.

The rain didn’t dampen the spirit of either side with players showcasing good handling skills.

Nakoci furthered Mt Masada’s lead in the second half with an individual effort seeing Police trail by 19-nil.

Nadroga lass Reapi Uluinasau added another five pointer for Mt Masada with some sneaky play from the scrum, running on the blind side untouched.

Mt Masada sealed the deal in the last minute with an icing on the cake.

Captain Rusila Nagasau says the competition is only getting tougher.

“Playing against the women’s team here was the biggest challenge. We thank the Police team for giving us a good go, it wasn’t easy going against them. We are now playing together after one month and we would like to thank everyone for their support.”

Leg two of the Super Sevens Series will kick-off in Nadi in the next two weeks.
